I like it.
Thanks Valentina.
Excellent haiku.
Thanks for reading Ellen.
I can imagine the parched land when something as tiny as sweat droplets make a difference. Good use of zoom technique from the sweeping vista to the sod of earth.

Thanks Marion. It’s nice reading your lovely comment. Thank you!
Great drought depiction. I imagined the farmer's sweat not just from the heat but from hard work, all his labouring that cannot bring rain.
Wow! What great interpretations! Thanks all. It’s nice reading your comments.
